Trescothick admits nerves ahead of tour

Marcus Trescothick is about to embark on his first overseas tour since he broke down in Australia with a stress-related condition. Peter Hayter, in the Mail on Sunday, finds out more:

And Trescothick, who last played for England in a one-day international against Pakistan in September 2006, admits: "I won't deny I am a little nervous about the prospect.

"I don't want to pre-empt anything, but I know the beast a bit better than I did when I had my troubles in Australia and India. I know the signs and how to work through them.

"I'm feeling well and things are pretty good, so I'm 95 per cent certain that the trip will be all right for me, but it's a big step and I'm not taking anything for granted."
